❏ That the Intern will learn the proper use of a crosscut saw, as well as other trail maintenance tools. ❏ That the Intern will learn/develop the skill of packing; being able to pack various items, using the

most efficient hitch for the job. ❏ That the Intern will develop the skills and knowledge in order to educate and encourage the wise

use of backcountry resources by all visitors of public lands. ❏ That the Intern develop an understanding of the historical aspect of pack stock use in the

backcountry and wilderness areas as a means for transportation, trail development, and other functions.

❏ That the Intern will develop a thorough understanding and appreciation of the principles of LNT, and will be able to lead by example on how to pack stock into the backcountry with minimal impact to the resource.

❏ The program will help to continue our relationship-building efforts with the Forest Service.

The 39th Year of the NPFDA Scholarship The National Poultry and Food Distributors Association Scholarship Foundation has given almost $240,000.00 to rising leaders in the 39 years it has been operating. Every year since 1979, NPFDA has awarded a select group of deserving students with a scholarship to help them complete their poultry or agriculture related degrees. In the Past: The NPFDA scholarship began when its leadership saw the need for outstanding “People Resources” in the agricultural industry. In 1986, the William Manson

Family Memorial Scholarship and the Alfred Schwartz Memorial Scholarship Awards were established. In 1997, NPFDA named a third scholarship award the Albin S. Johnson Memorial Scholarship Award. The yearly award has increased to $4000 per student and the number of students to be awarded has increased to 5 ($20,000 total in awards). The NPFDA scholarship committee chooses five exceptional students each year. Two students will be chosen from NPFDA Member Companies (employees or children of employees The funds for the 2018-2019 scholarships come from private cash donations and donations to NPFDA’s annual silent auction.
